So Mr. Vaughn had to pull over in a remote area (in the wee hours of the morning) to tie down luggage (for a day trip)
The area they pulled over makes no sense whatsoever. Let me say first of all that I live on Bluff Road and there is nothing there. Barely any lights or activity period. However one exit before at Rt 6 there are 2/ 24 hour gas stations and plenty of lights and activity because of truck traffic. The distance is less than two miles so it makes no sense whatsoever. Is it possible that this was a murder-suicide pact gone wrong. Meaning hubby and wife agreed about what would take place and he chickened out and ran and she then killed herself in grief.. Just a possibility..
That's an interesting thgouht - the murder/suicide pact...
The choice of location where they pulled over make sense if the issue with the stuff on their car became apparant to them only after they passed the exit with plenty of stuff.
That has happened to my family on trips before - especially if the area is kind of rural. We'll pass the big bust exit and then we'll need to pull over for some reason - to secure the bikes which start to wiggle or whatever - after we've passed the easy place to do that.
If she shot her husband, I feel he must have some idea why...or some sense of her behaving strangely in the time leading up to this. Unless she just had a total psychotic break.....
